Dolly Day

The Croquet Cafe will open an hour early from 9am to 5pm, serving Dolly-inspired menu items including the 9 to 5 Affogato Sundae and Islands in the Green Smoothie. A book drive at the cafe will collect gently used books for the Nashville Public Library. A limited-edition Dolly Bench T-shirt will be available at the Croquet Cafe and online at conservancyonline.com/store, and photo opportunities at the Dolly Bench will encourage guests to share using #dollybench.

Musicians Corner's 2026 season closer begins at 5pm and features Dolly collaborator Buddy Miller. The Parthenon will be illuminated in pink, and a special pink Dolly's Lemonade will be available during the festival.

On September 25, 25% of Croquet Cafe sales, as well as proceeds from the Dolly Bench T-shirt and Dolly's Lemonade, will benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
